Which two pain points are the most common for container technology adoption? (Choose two.)

Container deployment tooling has matured significantly with platforms like Kubernetes and Helm, making it a manageable challenge rather than a top pain point.

Security is a primary pain point because containers share the host OS kernel, expanding the attack surface, and because misconfigurations in images and runtime environments are a frequent source of exploitable vulnerabilities. Organizations struggle to implement image scanning, runtime policy enforcement, and network segmentation at scale.

Skilled staff is a critical barrier because container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes require deep expertise in networking, storage, and security that is scarce in the job market, directly slowing adoption and increasing operational risk for organizations moving workloads to containers.

Open-source container runtimes and orchestration tools reduce direct licensing costs, so cost is generally not ranked among the most critical adoption barriers.

Compliance concerns are closely related to security and are typically treated as a subset of that challenge rather than a separate top-ranked pain point.

Container performance is generally comparable to or better than traditional VM deployments due to lower overhead, so it is not commonly cited as a primary adoption barrier.
